Frobenius algebras and skein modules of surfaces in 3-manifolds
Uwe Kaiser
For each Frobenius algebra there is defined a skein module of surfaces embedded in a given 3-manifold and bounding a prescribed curve system in the boundary. The skein relations ar…

Quantum deformations of fundamental groups of oriented 3-manifolds
Uwe Kaiser
We compute two-term skein modules of framed oriented links in oriented 3-manifolds. They contain the self-writhe and total linking number invariants of framed oriented links in a u…

Presentations of homotopy skein modules of oriented 3-manifolds
Uwe Kaiser
A new method to derive presentations of skein modules is developed. For the case of homotopy skein modules it will be shown how the topology of a 3-manifold is reflected in the str…
